   Uh, I realise tha you are only 22, ahhh, so very young! Are you kidding? STAY in HI., if you need privacy go to another Island. Do you know how many people would kill for your job, even if the econ. was swinging and every nurse had his/her choice of ...

6. Tell me if this is the norm in your er!

   navvet replied to missnurse01's topic in Emergency

   Why do RN's sell themselves so short? One needs a professional hand, Bull Malarky !!! If a Doctor can be trained to suture a lip, hip, or hand so can an RN. My Father used to say " I can't, never could." It is the skill they don't want RN's to have s...

   So what's the problem. One can buy a suture kit on the internet, and then watch how to do it on Youtube. Simple sutures are not that complex. If the doc assesed the pt and then gave the go ahead for the tech/RN to suture, well there you go. I beleive...

    navvet replied to mydee's topic in LPN/LVN

    pagandadeva2000, All Nurses. Ever here the phrase "A nurse, is a nurse, is a nurse." There are over a million nurses that practice right now? My number could be skewed but, at any rate. I believe it is so vitally important to this profession to have...

    navvet replied to mydee's topic in LPN/LVN

    Commuter, your make a great point, let me throw you some food for thought. Supply and Demand does wonders for an industry subset. Look at the Software industry. Employment rise for lpns? sure, why not. But, will there be an opportunity cost associate...
